Our goal is to address serious medical conditions, across multiple and diverse therapeutic areas. Our FDA-approved medicines are only the beginning of our long-term commitment to solve the human body's most complex mysteries.

In addition to our work to invent new and needed medicines, we are focused on improving our world and operating with the highest standards of integrity. We are proud not only of what we do, but how we do it.

We want you to ask questions. Our VP of Research, Dr. Luke Bucci, PhD, has answers.

How long will it take for me to start seeing results?

The benefits you ‘feel’—happier mood, maintained energy—are just bonuses when it comes to improving your long-term health. While many people feel a difference within 1-2 weeks, some don’t notice any difference and that’s okay. It’s what’s happening inside that counts.

The water-soluble nutrients (Fe, Mg, folate, B12, boron) start working right away to support your heart, nerves, and more. Fat-soluble nutrients take longer, except for D3, which helps your brain the next day if you have low levels. All in all, it takes 3-4 months for your body to reach a new equilibrium. By the time Essential For Women reaches neurons—the cells in your brain that signal mood—it’s already helping your heart cells, bone cells, and more.

What kind of testing do you do?

Every batch of our vitamins is first tested for identity, purity, strength, and composition. Then, we take it a step further and have a 3rd party make sure that our active ingredients are potent and that our capsule is free of heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants. When you read our label, you know exactly what's going in your body. Nothing more, nothing less.

I’m sensitive to swallowing pills. Will these work for me?

We specifically designed Essential for Women to be easy to take—even for women who are usually sensitive to vitamins. We use a size 0 vegan capsule, which is actually much smaller than most multivitamins.

Plus, every bottle comes with an insert infused with fresh peppermint oil from Yakima, Washington, which can be helpful for people who find it hard to swallow other vitamins because of their minerally or fishy smell.

Finally, our capsule is also delayed-release, which means it doesn’t dissolve until it leaves your stomach and enters your intestines. Not only is this better for nutrient absorption, but it reduces the risk of vitamin-related nausea.
